A handsome crayon portrait, the WORK

The annual meeting of the W. c. 7. U
of Woodstown was held yesterday after
noon. Lack of space prevents list of the
newly-elected officers, which will be given
next week
Frank w Iredell, the tin-smith, on Sa-
lem street, is kept continually busy. He
is a careful aud painstaking mechanic and
his work and prices are entirely satisfac-
tory. Give him a call when you need any
thing in his line.
1t appears that the report that Taylor,
the retiring editor of the Register, had
bought the Philadelphia Record is with
ol.t foundation in truth. He bought copy
OF the paper, which fact, no doubt, gave
origin to the rumor.
The G. L. S. C. will hold meeting this

Cawley for the purpose of electing officers,
ordering books, sc. All persons wishing

Expressman Wilson is given to joking
occasionally. Wednesday night he paralys-
ed his patrons by the announcement that
he would make no more trips to Philadel-
phia for the summer 1t took most of
them little while to get through their
skulls the fact that the summer was over
with that day.
Most of the fire companies from all the
cities and boroughs within radius of 100
miles of Philadelphia have signified their
intention of taking part in the proposed
parade in Philadelphia, September 10Th.
Bridgeton, Millyille and many other South
Jersey towns have secured places in the
ranks AS the Oldest are placed in front
why not take our Reliance up and let them
see what brains and money can do i'll the
way of fire protection. If she is not the
Oldest, she possibly is the most worthless,
and might get to the front on this basis.
1t would not be out Of place to let them
see how she works. Take her up by all
means-and leave her there after the pa
rade is ended.
Our genial brother Gwynne, Jr., of the
Sunbeam, seems to have hard road to
hoe between here and Swedesboro. The
turnpike was ''hard road to trabble' for
long time. When it was abandoned he
got stuck in the mud which by the name
of a country road was as tenacious and
muddy as under the name of turnpike.
And now they have taken to stealing his
watermelons at Swedesboro, and when he
kicks they accuse him of having fallen
asleep on the road Our advice to the Jr.
is to close up this Swedesboro business at
as early a date as possible. We don't
know at all what the business may be,
though we have our ''spIcfons," but let it
be what it may close it up and let Swedcs-
boro and the road thither be d-eserted.
We shall expect cards by early mail.
